This thing is a beast, just recently got it and I've only taken it out for use once so far but it kept all my goodies cold and ice didn't melt the whole weekend. Definitely helps to pre-cool it before and you should be good. Wheels work great and so does the handle and the fishing pole holders are a huge plus.

There are allot of features to the cooler It is very easy to tote around with the telescoping handle and oversized wheels. The only problem I have is that it doesn't seal properly. You can use a bungy cord to hold it down, but the lid will have a crack due to the design. Great for day trips, but if you are using for multiple days then you will most likely need to re-ice.

I got this cooler about a week ago and just used it on a lake trip for a bachelor party. It held up really good and we were pretty rough on it, cutting bait up on the little table, pulling it around in the red clay, fishing rod holders were definitely used to the max. It’s an awesome cooler, held ice for 3 days in the SC sun, would recommend 10/10👌🏻

This cooler arrived and to my disappointment it was poorly constructed. I have had an igloo cooler do many years so the choice to buy the igloo replacement was what I thought obvious.however the cooler arrive and it had no latch for the lid and only cables holding it up. The compartments on the outside were cheap placating and the toe down pointed where also cheap plastic. For the price I paid I returned the cooler ad began my search for a better quailry

Looks great and has some awesome features but it leaks water out the top when transporting. It leaked while walking with the handle extended and while it was in the back of my truck. Not happy about that it damaged other equipment that shouldn't have been close if i know it was going to leak. I let out most of the water before putting it in the truck but i didnt expect the amount in the to get out of the top. Hopefully i can return it.

Great cooler and got it on a great sale price. Would not buy if it was full price. There are complaints that the coolers come used. I know mine wasn’t used but it definitely didn’t come in pristine condition either. It had some light scratches, some of the foam for insulation was coming out from the non critical parts, and the wheels looked dirty. I know these coolers are just sitting stacked up in a dirty warehouse and that’s why they come the way they are. This is why I’m giving it only 3 stars

We love our Trailmate Journey cooler! The olive color is perfect to not show scuffs, dirt, etc. I am short, but because of the adjustable handle, it is so easy for me to roll the cooler, even when it's completely full and has items strapped to it as well. I highly recommend this cooler.

I purchased a trailmate journey cooler a week ago and have used it twice. On both occasions, I used the cooler inside my house just to test how long the cooler would keep ice cold. Well, unfortunately, this cooler failed to do that. Both times, the ice melted within 12 hours. I used 15 pounds of ice and a cold 18 pack, and all the ice melted away. I was bummed out about that, not worth the money I spent for an ice chest. I will say this though, the cooler does have a sleek design to it and comes with a lot of cool features. Anyways, I'm going to sell this cooler and purchase a better quality one that keeps ice from melting in one day. Peace, Love, & Happiness.

While longevity remains to be seen (some of it appears to be cheaply made), this cooler has more features presented in more useful and clever ways than any other cooler I’ve seen. LOVE the umbrella / fishing pole tubes. LOVE the wheels, the handle, the dry storage, and the cup holders. Ice only lasts 24-48 hours in the shade, but I rarely need ice longer than a day anyway so I don’t care about that. After using the Journey, I will sell my Yeti, which is way too heavy to be practical.

So many complaints on this cooler. My husband and I took it to the creek strapped to our ATV. Handled it like a champ. We love ALL the features and room. We originally wanted the brumate for our annual family beach trip. But, worried about the tap in the sand. Went with this and it’s a 10/10 for us.
